Sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra™, is prescribed for erectile dysfunction (ED), a condition affecting 1/3 of men worldwide and over half of men above 40. Pfizer introduced Viagra™ in 1998, holding exclusive rights until 2013. Post-patent expiration, generic versions emerged.
As a PDE5 inhibitor, Sildenafil relaxes blood vessels, enhancing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. While it increases the likelihood of a firmer, longer-lasting erection, arousal is essential.
BlueChew's chewable tablets, available through BlueChew.com, contain the same Sildenafil as FDA-approved Viagra™, providing a convenient alternative to the pill form.

Explore everything about Sildenafil, the key ingredient in the FDA-approved ED drug Viagra™. Learn about its mechanism, why it's a great option for stronger and longer-lasting erections, and discover how to access Sildenafil through BlueChew.
How often can I take Sildenafil?
Prescribed for on-demand use, take Sildenafil chewable tablets as directed by your licensed medical provider through BlueChew. Avoid daily consumption and never exceed one dose every 24 hours. Adhere strictly to your provider's prescription, avoiding prolonged use beyond recommendations.
How long does Sildenafil last?
Take Sildenafil an hour before planned activity, as it remains active for 4 to 6 hours and triggers only with arousal. Effects are observed within 30 minutes, similar to Tadalafil (Cialis™).
For optimal absorption, take Sildenafil on an emptier stomach, especially avoiding fatty meals, and abstain from alcohol. Rushing and anxiety can contribute to ED, making Sildenafil a choice for planned occasions, offering improved blood flow and firmer erections.
Consult BlueChew's licensed medical providers to determine the most suitable ED medication and dosage based on your specific information.
What are the potential side effects of Sildenafil?
Inform your medical provider about all medications, including prescription, over-the-counter, vitamins, and herbal supplements, to minimize potential side effects.
With over 20 years in use, Sildenafil is well-documented for its positive effects on erectile dysfunction and potential side effects, including:
- Headache
- Skin flushing
- Upset stomach
- Blurred vision
- Stuffy or runny nose
- Back or muscle pain
- Nausea, dizziness
- Rash
Other possible side effects include prolonged erections, sudden vision or hearing changes, or tinnitus. If you experience any of these symptoms, cease medication and seek immediate medical attention.
